Which, in...John, there's still the midnight replay. Which, indeed, I'm watching nearly-live (a rarity for me, with how much use my DVR gets). I would think that anyone who's a big enough NASCAR fan to actually record NASCAR Now would at least know that there's a late replay, so that if something like this happens they can stay up for it or record it instead. This has happened before, and it'll happen again, and not just with NASCAR. I don't see how it's that big of a deal. It's just the nature of sports. They're unpredictable, and the schedules aren't always going to work out.SonicADhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06647057393154203533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-35364813904848901692008-05-01T00:11:00.001-04:002008-05-01T00:11:00.001-04:00If I hadn't been reading this blog at 11:59 p.m., ...If I hadn't been reading this blog at 11:59 p.m., I would have missed NN totally.

Nascar Now was not worth my time last year, and I did not watch it. This year's NN is much improved, and I will watch it regularly. However, I do not record programs and will not chase it all over the ESPN channels and all over the clock to find it. If ESPN cannot find a reliable way to present it on a scheduled time and channel, they will lose me as a viewer.<BR/><BR/>Michigan fanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-51850502959807274262008-04-30T22:16:00.000-04:002008-04-30T22:16:00.000-04:00sonic,Tell that to the vast majority of viewers of...sonic,<BR/><BR/>Tell that to the vast majority of viewers of NASCAR Now who record the show on a VCR or DVR. <BR/><BR/>This is the problem and it is one that is going to have to be solved by ESPN pretty soon. There are lots of programs on the network that get affected by this situation.<BR/><BR/>Eventually, we all know the solution is to make this entire show available online for replay even in a limited window. <BR/><BR/>JDDaly Planet Editorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13834588435004023666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-87170339612611014482008-04-30T19:41:00.000-04:002008-04-30T19:41:00.000-04:00I was out, but I can still record the late replay....I was out, but I can still record the late replay. Since the soccer ran long, that and the horse race draw take priority (no matter how indifferent I am to horse racing). Plus, at least I get bonus coverage with DJ there at the draw.

The Liverpool fans and British media *hate* him now. (Ugly American messing up their football teams!) The local police warned him and the other co-owner to stay away from the game last week for their own safety. Maybe he'll get some extra cash to put into GEM out of the sale. And maybe he'll show up at some races. <BR/><BR/>Also funny is his Liverpool partner, who Gillett is fighting with and no longer gets along with, may buy into RCR. The British fans and media hate him, too. (Ugly American #2 Tom Hicks) Hope they don't bring their grudge match to NASCAR if Hicks buys in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-91017462724146282532008-04-30T19:14:00.001-04:002008-04-30T19:14:00.001-04:00Yes, the Chelsea - Liverpool game had a 30 minute ...Yes, the Chelsea - Liverpool game had a 30 minute overtime.bevohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07186936436307739896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-64607707073643041392008-04-30T19:14:00.000-04:002008-04-30T19:14:00.000-04:00There is a new post up about the Wednesday NASCAR ...There is a new post up about the Wednesday NASCAR Now program.

I add even more time if I read something here and decide to record the replay.

Kentucky Derby draw was also supposed to be live, so those events likely took priority over NASCAR Now and the NBA show. Inconvenient but understandable - on ESPN live programming always takes priority over taped programming. They've been showing live soccer on Wednesday afternoon the past couple of weeks. I thought NASCAR Now was going to run late last week, but the game ended just in time.<BR/><BR/>I'm guessing because of the 7 PM live bowling event, they decided to cancel the NBA special and move NASCAR Now to 6:30 because otherwise one of those shows would have to be joined in progress.<BR/><BR/>They were taking their time with the Derby draw, there was no rushing to get off the air, so they probably made a pretty early decision to skip the NBA show and move NASCAR Now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-583313410761197902008-04-30T18:32:00.000-04:002008-04-30T18:32:00.000-04:00That certainly is a strange approach to this issue...That certainly is a strange approach to this issue.

They then panned to a UPS stock car at the Derby draw site and Dale Jarrett was sitting on the set with the other men (whoever they are) and they asked Dale a couple of questions before going back to the draw.
